I bought my first bottle of Tatcha pure camellia one step oil in 2013 after reading about the story behind the brand, I was fascinated. At the time, they had launched only three products the camellia oil, the classic rice enzyme powder and the moisturizer. I must admit it took me a while to figure out how to use the product to suit my skin and to fit in my routine but once I did I have been obsessed with the results.
WHAT IS TATCHA PURE ONE STEP CAMEILLIA CLEANSING OIL?

The product comes on a white bottle, with a pump top that looks when you twist to the right. There is an additional cap cover that further secures the product from spillage.
HOW TO USE ITIn the PM
First, I make my hands are clean and dry. I dispense about two pumps of one step cleansing oil in my palm and massage it on my face. On makeup days, I concentrate on my water proof eye makeup making sure it’s spread properly.
I wet my palm with a little warm water and massage it on my face which emulsifies the cleanser turning it into a milky substance. Finally, I take a warm face cloth and wipe off my skin thoroughly
At this point, sometimes I cleanse with a treatment cleanser depending on what I am trying to achieve. However, this cleanser is so good you don’t real need a double cleanse (if you don’t have layers of make up on). I finish up with my night serum and moisturizer.
In the AM
I Dispense one pump only into my palm, massage on dry skin, emulsify, wipe with warm cloth, pat dry and apply skin treatments and SPF. No need for a second cleanse.
